. Application mea .Tammy 2a, ma serial No. 6712,892.

Tol all 'wlwm 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN FUsnnRUD, citizen of the United States, residing at Tent-worth, in the count-y of Lake and State of South Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparel-Hangers, of which the following is a specification.`

This invention relates to improvements in apparel hangers.

The primary object of my invention is to provide a light, neat, inexpensive garment hanger to give support to `a plurality of articles of apparel.

Another object is to provide an inexpensive apparel hanger, made of wire, especially constructed to receive such articles of 'apparel as are usually discarded upon entering a room. l

Another object is to provide an apparel hanger so arranged that the same may be packed in a neat, compact package.

lVith. these and other objects in view the present invention consists in thev combinat-ion and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and finally pointed out in the appended claims, it being further understood that changes in the specific structure shown and described may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views Fig'ure 1 shows a side view of an apparel hanger constructed according to my invention, while Fig. 2 shows a front view of my apparel hanger disclos.

ing the same as glving support to a pair of gloves, a hat, and a coat.

The aim of my inventlon 1s toprovlde a garment hanger arranged to be secured to the wall, to receive such articles of apparel as are usually discarded upon entering a room, such as a hat, gloves, top coat, shawl, cane or an umbrella.

In carrying out the object of my invention, I employ two similar supporting members each comprising a threaded stern 5, having a spring coil 6, ending ina recurved clasping arm 7 as clearly disclosed in Fig. l. Two such support-ing stems are vemployed, each receiving one end of a V-shaped hanger made of wire and' comprising the straight bar sections 1, each ending in a terminal eye 4, the lower end of this V- shaped hanger ending in a recurved hook 3.

The sections 1 are extended in parallel and are united as is shown at 2, so that the supporting hook 3 is of double thickness as shown in Fig. 2.

Held to each supporting stem 5 is ahanger bar 9, two such bars being employed as shown, each bar ending in a terminal eye S, Aheld upon a supporting stem, while the opposite end 10 of each hanger bar is bent at right angles, and ends in an eye 12;

Pivotally held within the terminal eyes l2, is a hat supporting bar 14, having a centrally disposed half loop 15, curved downward, this bar 14 ending in terminal eyes 13, in engagement with theu eyes 12. As shown in Fig. 1, this hat receiving loop 15, is held outward a suitable distance from the hanger bars l.

The hanger is secured in placing the threaded stems through the terminal eyes L1- and 8, and then screwing these supporting stems into the wall. Inthis instance, the

spring coils 6 serve as a stop .in forcingr and holding the members 1 and 9 together, as shown in Fig. 1. In this condition, the upper recurved end of each stem rests under tension against the wall, giving support to the same.

The clasping arms 7 serve to receive gloves, newspapers, books and the like, f

which are placed behind the spring arms, while the hook 3 receives such garments, as an overcoat. A hat is secured in carrying the loop 15 outward and resting the crown within the loop and then allowing the loop 15 to ind its perpendicular. An umbrella, cane or the like, is given supportJ upon the bar portions 10.

A. garment hanger constructed according to my invention is extremely simple and inexpensive in construction, and both durable and eiicient in operation, and the articles of apparel can be instantly removed or replaced.

In referring to Fig. 1, it will be noted that the hangers 9 are diagonally held for .the reason that the length of the bar 14 is much greater than the distance between the ends 4 of the V-shaped hanger.

Having thus described my said invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by lUnited States Letters Patent, is

1. An apparel support comprising two similar supporting stems, each having a spring coil ending in a clasping arm, a V- shaped hanger having terminal eyes upon said stems, and ending in a hook, two diagonally held hanger bars, each having one end bent at right angles7 both ends of each bar ending in a terminal eye, one eye of each bar in engagement with a stein, and a snprtirrg'bar having a cent-rally disposed ha loepyand terminal eyes, engaging the l bent ends of said hanger bars.

2. An apparel support comprising two similar threaded supporting stems,each having a spring eoil ending in a elasping arm, a V-'shnped hanger having terminal eyes upon said stems, and ending in a hook, two diagonally held supporting hars, each having one end bentI at right angles, both ends of each bar ending in an eye7 one eye of each.. bar in engagement with a threaded .st-em and a supporting bar haying a centrally disposed hat receiving half loop, and terminal eyes engaging said bent ends, the length of said supporting bar being greater than the distance between the ends of said V-shaped hanger.

In testimony whereof I ailix my signature in presence of hvowitnesses.
